FWIW: IMO, the value of the path list was probably corrupt, since the "ldconfig -R" he said he ran failed to find it, or the other shared libraries in /usr/local/lib. In other words, he munged something and broke it, some time ago, and was only now feeling the pain. One of the problems with upgrading from an older version of FreeBSD to a newer version is that the process fails to deal with transporting the current configuration to the new version of the OS, for a lot of corner cases. The reason I said what I said, and said it the way that I did, was to give something that would work, no matter how screwed up the situation was. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
